Dekaranger is pretty average, and Gingaman is really, really bland. Those are the only two series I've seen from that time period.
However, I've heard Timeranger, Abaranger (The next series I plan on watching), and Hurricanger were all pretty good series~ I couldn't stand to watch more than 10 episodes of Magiranger, but that's just me.

I loved Magiranger, although it took me a bit to really warm up to it. I maintain the writing in it is notably above average for Sentai. The Plot especially is paced extremely well, with each quarter or so of the show being a distinct arc and pretty much every individual episode moving things along at least a bit. There's also a lot of twists that were clearly all thought out beforehand, leading to lots of nice foreshadowing.
And I've seen quite a bit of hate for the heroes around here (and to an extent I get it), but I felt they all had some solid growth and bounced off each other well. Not to mention the villains are pretty cool. Wolzard is one of my favorite Sentai villains, even. Really my biggest (only?) complaint with Magiranger is that obnoxious ED. It hurts my ears.

Gingaman is basically what Goseiger tried to emulate, with the rangers being from a secret tribe/civilization that still exists to this day sheltered from the outside world, and the fillers(at least the ones I saw) were fun with them trying to blend with said outside world. Timeranger is fun and especially after Time Fire enters the show it gets more interesting(at least that was what I felt when I saw it long time ago). Hurricanger is fun in that it is pretty much a re-imagining of Liveman but with ninjas. Heck, even the motifs are almost in sync(Hurricane Red is a hawk as opposed to Red Falcon being a falcon but both are raptors/birds of prey so it all works out), and even the Gouraigers are a nice nod to Black Bison and Green Sai in that they are horned animals. They start off with their school being wiped out by the bad guys as well like Liveman. Shurikenger is a SUPER FUN character with them having sentai alumni being his alter ego every episode. Oh yeah, fun fact; Shurikenger is the second tsuika senshi following Dragon Ranger to be Green. And Shurikenger came out exactly a decade after Dragon Ranger so it is in a sense an anniversary tsuika senshi celebrating 10 awesome years of tsuika senshisat the time. Too bad Green Buster is not a thing(and yet Green Hippopotamus is a thing). Dekaranger is a great nod to police drama shows(at least the Japanese ones for sure). Some say it has no overarching plot(and they are right) aside from Agent Abrella being the link, but that is intentional as they are paying tribute to the omnibus-style police dramas where most of the time they solve the case within an episode. Magiranger was Fiveman 2.0 and a great marketing move by Toei and Bandai capitalizing on the Harry Potter craze at the time.

Personally found Hurricanger to be an average show that aside from the Gouraigers, played it too safe and I hated Magiranger, I didn't like the heroes or villains and it has some of the worst special effects in Sentai. Haven't seen Time or Gao.

Actually...
Why does Boukenger have it's reputation? All I know is that it's a parody like Carranger and Operation Overdrive sucked?

I just found it to be overwhelmingly bland. I didn't last more than 10 episodes because I was so bored of it that I had no drive to continue watching it.

I've heard stuff like it's boring all the way to that it disgraces Sentai ideals.

Boukenger is another series like Magiranger where I had seen nothing but love for it until I started posting around this site. I haven't seen more than a couple episodes myself, so I can't stick up for it the way I can Magiranger, though.
Ooh, I've finally got my own question for one of these threads, yay! What's so interesting about Gingaman's villains? I'm genuinely curious here because while I didn't particularly not care for any of them, the only one that I really liked a lot was Sambash, and even he wasn't that great. Overall I just found them kind of bland and extremely handicapped by the nonstop, repetitive formula of each general's plans. Need I remind everyone about the tomatoes?
